big political win for obama? >> temporarily, yes. at the risk of being the skunk at the garden party, i think we all need to be very cautious about this for the reasons that eleanor and pat laid out. when you look at the 3w .5% gdp growth in the third quarter, 3% of that growth, 3% is due to government spending. whether it was cash for clunkers or the first-time home buyers tax credit or the extension of unemployment benefits. so 3%, and they are temporary programs. let's keep that in mind. cash for clunkers is done. the first-time home buyers credit isn't going to last feafer. so what we've had here is a warping of whatever's left of the american free market with this massive infusion of government spending, and we've had a bubble here. the cautionary note i want to sound is that once all of these programs have run their course like cash for clunkers. in the month of september, auto sales have plummeted. what we have is yet another bubble. what i fear is that we might actually go into another dip. >> did you send your congratulation
